As history continues to be made in St George’s Square, we will be following Historic England’s High Street Historic Action Zone (HSHAZ) project, bringing you images of events that happen in the Square as well as its changing buildings.

The Place to Demonstrate

Since Victorian times there have been protests in St George’s Square.

The latest took place on Saturday 1st October 2022.
